Swap BNB from BNB Chain to DAI on Ethereum

Swap BNB from BNB Chain to DAI on Ethereum. You send native BNB on BNB Chain and you receive Maker DAI on Ethereum.

The marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means BNB on this source, the gas coin on chain id 56. No ERC-20 approval. BscScan records the native send. Blocks are about 3 seconds. Keep BNB for the fee. Maker DAI is 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F on Etherscan, 18 decimals. Chain id 1. DAI is not Tether and not Circle, and it will not pay ETH gas.

BNB leaves BNB Chain. DAI is what can arrive on Ethereum.

Native BNB for Maker's token

You sell the gas coin and buy Maker DAI. The page will not sell the ETH peg and will not sell a stablecoin peg. If your BNB is only a thin remainder meant for fees, this route is the wrong tool, because the fee and the trade come from the same balance. Leave enough BNB that the transaction can still be mined.

DAI will not fuel chain id 1

Etherscan should show 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F. That is the whole payout. It does not include native ETH. Without ETH, you cannot move the DAI, and you cannot wrap anything. BNB Chain gas and Ethereum gas are different coins on different explorers. Plan the ETH before you need the DAI to leave the wallet.

Dollar pages are not interchangeable

USDC and USDT routes from BNB exist. So do routes that pay native ETH or WETH. This page is only Maker. A desk that named Tether will not accept this credit. If you did not need Ethereum, a BNB Chain swap is smaller. The bridge guide covers the hop. It does not lock DAI.

The minimum is the only number to trust

BNB can move while the route is open. The estimate is not the floor. The minimum DAI is the floor. A 3 second source block is a chain fact, not a completion time. Ethereum's 12 second blocks are another fact. Sign on chain id 56 from a wallet you control, and recheck the DAI contract if any character looks off.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap BNB from BNB Chain to DAI on Ethereum?

The marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means BNB on this source, the gas coin on chain id 56. No ERC-20 approval.

Is the BNB I send the same as the ETH peg in my token list?

No. BNB is the native gas coin, marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, with no approval, visible as a native send on BscScan. The ETH peg is a separate contract you would have to approve. This page does not spend that peg. The DAI you receive is 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F on Etherscan.

Can Maker DAI pay the Ethereum transaction that moves it?

No. Gas on chain id 1 is ETH. DAI is only the token this route delivers. If the wallet has DAI and no ETH, the transfer cannot be mined. BNB on BNB Chain cannot be attached to that Ethereum transaction. Add ETH first. This page does not send ETH alongside the DAI.

What if the quote expires while BNB Chain is still fast?

Speed of the source block does not keep a quote alive. If it expires, request a new one and read the new minimum DAI. This page does not promise the old figure, and it does not promise a finish time. Gas for the send is still BNB. Do not sign a screen you did not refresh.
